“Suh Yuh”

They’ve sold 117 million PS4s and 59 million PS5s.

They take a 30% cut on each game sold on the PlayStation store. That’s $18 for every $60 game sold.

If every one of those people bought just one game per year, Sony brings in $3,006,000,000 every year. Even if only half of gamers buy one game per year, that’s still an insane amount of money.

Corporate greed on full display. And don’t tell me it’s because of game development costs. Because:

The next game, which is a fan-favourite is Uncharted 4. This game needed $40 million to be completed, and after its release, it made around $1 billion.

And the best of them all, Marvel Spider-Man. This game cost $100 million to be developed, and when it was released, it made a whopping $6.8 billion.

Sony-funded games are wildly profitable.

They’re the baristas. Because at least they can make latte art while they scrounge for tips from the tip jar.

I see that rogue Google Play Music icon there. Makes me sad they killed it.

What’s the last game Ubisoft came out with that had any real success in the public gaming consciousness?

The Fractured But Whole?

They just don’t make great games.

Yeah, this is true.

From the actual report:

The richest 10% (around 630 million people) accounted for 46% of the total emissions growth – only marginally less than the 49% contributed by the middle 40%. The poorest 50% barely increased their consumption emissions at all.

Adding up the top 10 countries’ populations doesn’t even reach 630 million.

People will probably use this to say that the top 10% need to pay for taxes and be held accountable, without realizing they’re probably in that 10%.

I’d actually like to see the 10% broken down even further.

World’s dumbest take.

“The Democratic party is annoying me with phone calls, so I’m going to let the fascists take over the country.”

Yeah, I remember this game being pretty good and seemingly getting little attention.

I’ll probably look into getting this remake to experience it again.

I’m realizing now that this would have been super useful when I worked in Loss Prevention way back when. Wish I had known…

Oh that’s a really good point. Don’t trust the cops, keep everything encrypted.

Way safer in those situations.

Is this for your home? If it is, you don’t really have to worry about someone stealing your desktop. If someone breaks into your home, they’re looking for quick cash and jewelry and TVs. They’re not going to bother stealing your server to dig through files for something usable.
